I believe that the game is finally done! It's now available for purchase through http://www.hanakogames.com/science.shtml for Windows, MacOS X, and Linux. Please check it out and let us know if you encounter any problems.

Hello: I was just trying the demo and it is very hard if not impossible to win against the monsters and stay alive. I got very few drops and they have very little points to do spells with so they die often. I could not even get past the level under the one that we start on. Sometimes I used the punch and other times I used the hypnotise spell. They kep getting eaten and not being able to fight. I love RPG games that have monster battles but if it is that difficult to even get through the school then I will not be able to buy the game.

There are lots and lots of little tricks that can make things easier, but it can take some trial and error to learn all the strategies. I'm hoping other people will share some of their tips so we can compile them and possibly put more help into the demo. (I already posted a thread for Stealth Balls in particular)
